In addition, Abrams, Bradley and Reconfigurable Vehicle Simulator (RVS) upgrades will ensure simulators are in conjunction with the vehicles in the field.

It will also guarantee upgrades and support are established for the joint light tactical vehicle, armoured multi-purpose vehicle and other emerging army ground vehicle platforms.

“We look forward to enabling soldier readiness through the programme’s design, production and fielding of concurrency and modernisation upgrades.”

The upgrade to the simulators will help improve sustainability and cyber security, thereby preparing the training system for future army simulation architectures.

Lockheed Martin Training and Simulation Solutions vice-president Tom Gordon said: “Lockheed Martin is honoured to continue providing the US Army with an affordable complement to live training through the CCTT M3 programme.

“We look forward to enabling soldier readiness through the programme’s design, production and fielding of concurrency and modernisation upgrades.”

In order to carry out the project, Lockheed Martin has collaborated with two small businesses in the US, AVT Simulation and Dignitas Technologies.

The integrated team offers experienced system architecture and visual system experts to address the CCTT M3 development, production and fielding requirements for the US Army.
